Operationalizing the One Health approach at the intersection of research and development: A study protocol for the Eluzo project in Senegal and Burkina Faso
Small-scale livestock farming remains central to food security and income-generation in several low and middle countries (LMIC), but it can also be an important source of zoonoses in areas where access to water and sanitation is poor. The role played by women in this sector is often overlooked. ELUZO is an international, intersectoral, and multidisciplinary One Health project that aims to reduce the impact of zoonotic diseases and empower women i…
Acute gastrointestinal illness burden associated with water recreation in high-income countries: A scoping review
Examining the Relationship Between Firearm Violence Exposure and Posttraumatic Symptomatology in Adolescents: A Scoping Review
Firearm-related violence is the leading cause of death for adolescents and can have lifelong ramifications, including to one’s mental health and well-being. Through a scoping review of existing literature published since 1980, the current study describes nuanced pathways through which exposure to firearm violence (direct or indirect) can contribute to the development and exacerbation of posttraumatic symptomatology during adolescence (ages 10–19)…
Quantitative microbial risk assessment of acute gastrointestinal illness attributable to freshwater recreation in Ontario
Proximity to Combined Sewer Overflow-Impacted Waters in Philadelphia: A Geographic Information Systems Study to Explore Environmental Injustice
Background: Recreating in waterbodies impacted by combined sewer overflows (CSOs) can present health risks due to exposure to microbial pathogens. This study compares population characteristics of those living within walking distance to CSO-impacted versus nonimpacted waters in Philadelphia to determine whether these populations differ by race, ethnicity, and sociodemographic characteristics. Methods: Adults recreating at or near natural water bo…
Tools for a comprehensive assessment of public health risks associated with limited sanitation services provision
Three water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) support tools were applied to Kampala city, Uganda, to evaluate areas with the highest health hazard due to poor wastewater and faecal sludge management and to develop interventions to improve sanitation and reduce exposure. The Pathogen Flow and Mapping Tool (PFMT) assessed how different sanitation management interventions influence pathogen emissions to surface water using rotavirus as the indicator pa…
School-based, blacklight handwashing program can improve handwashing quality and knowledge among pre-school aged children
Bacterial Contamination on Latrine Surfaces in Community and Household Latrines in Kathmandu, Nepal
A lack of sanitation infrastructure is a major contributor to the global burden of diarrheal disease, particularly in low-income countries. Access to basic sanitation was identified as part of the 2015 United Nations Sustainable Development Goals. However, current definitions of "basic" sanitation infrastructure exclude community or shared sanitation, due to concerns around safety, equity, and cleanliness. The purpose of this study was to measure…
Using decision trees to understand the influence of individual- and neighborhood-level factors on urban diabetes and asthma
Insights and Opportunities: Challenges of Canadian First Nations Drinking Water Operators
Providing safe drinking water continues to be a challenge in Canadian First Nations communities. In 2011, in Ontario and British Columbia, only 45 percent and 51 percent of 143 and 160 First Nations had water systems with a fully trained certified operator, respectively. The objective of this research was to investigate the issues of operator training, retention, and job satisfaction through semi-structured interviews and surveys of water system …
